VMware View for iPad - iPad 3 (the new iPad) Support

Hi Guys!

Today, Apple launched the new iPad (iPad Generation 3).

So, many Apps will be optimized for the new Retina-Display with a resolution of 2048x1536 pixels in the future.

It should only be a reminder to optimize the View Client for iPad to the brand new display of Apple´s iPad.

An option for the screen size (like the windows client) would also be nice,...

iPad Optimized (Fullscreen) is the actual and only setting.

Nice will be if the User can select alternatively a fixed size like 1024x768 / 1280x1024 /1600x1200 with scroll bars.

Sometimes, Enduser need this settings to run a Software properly.

I think, many users are missing this.

Thanks, Jo!

I second this request! The new iPad display is quite a step up from the prior iPad and it would be great if the View client supported this new higher resolution display.

The current View client supports up to 1920x1080 resolution scaled to the iPad screen. The performance will not be as good as 1024x768 due to the large number of pixels on screen, but you can support higher resolutions connections today.

Best way:

Optimize View Client for iPad to support the retina resolution.

Otherwise it looks not perfectly sharp on the iPad3 display.

Thanks, Jo!
